Monster trucks!

David took Rhett to see the infamous monster trucks. He went with friends Rich and Dan and their sons Oscar and Frank. While Rhett was the smallest and youngest, he sure was the bravest and toughest relishing the loud sound and cheering while the other kids covered the ears!

Dribble it.. Pass it... We want a BASKET!

Last week was back to school and settling into this New Years routine. Rhett started playing basketball and Remley is a cheerleader! This week was their first practice and they seemed to really enjoy themselves and their respective sports. Meanwhile, Vera has also been busy sleeping and getting too big too fast!!

Happy Noon Year!

The children "rang in the new year" at a 12 o'clock (noon) "ball drop" at the children's museum - Happy Noon Year! with cousins Cally and Cannon (and a few hundred other low country kids). Afterwards, we all had lunch followed by a few hours at the playground and then it was off to spend the night with Mimi where the kids watched fireworks, made gingerbread cookies, and had a blast!
Meanwhile, David and I had a nice low-key night with baby Vera, complete with fondue and a surprise win by Clemson. Cheers to 2013!

Christmas 2012

Best Gift Ever

Christmas was fabulous! We were busy bees traveling to visit with all of our family and hurrying home to be snug in bed  to await Santa! While Vera certainly won the best gift ever award... everyone was beyond blessed with so much love and lots and lots of new stuff!

Christmas Eve was spent in Mt Pleasant at our gracious host The DeMoura's. Aunt Jamie, Uncle Eric, John John, LaLa, Mimi, Mikey, and Cally and Cannon rounded out the bunch.
